Site Size & Condition: Ancient Bridge Spean Khmeng (ស្ពានក្មេង - Pronounced: Spien K'meng) one of the many historic bridges built by King Jayavarman VII that spans the Royal roads leading out from Angkor to the far stretches of the empire. This bridge still stands and is being used till this day, it is approximately 20m long, so comparatively smaller than the other bridges along this stretch of the ancient highway.
